David Worden, one of the New
Haven gang Of petty thieves who plead
ed guilty in the circuit court at the pre-
sent term, and who was sentenced to
the Jackson prison for one year. was
taken there by Sheriff Petit on Satur-
day last. He proved TO be an old oiien-
der, having previously served two
years term in the same institution. He
was sent from Calhoun county, Sept. %,
1870. He escaped Aug. Is, 1871, and re
NAMED out until Oct. 81. 1871, when he
was captured and returned TO prison
and completed his term, being discharg-
ed Sept Il. 1872. This fact is surprise
to everybody, as Worden declared that
his New Haven diversion was his first
offense, and pleaded hard for mercy,
owing to his age and the wound which
he received in the army. He played 1t
exceedingly fine and is a sly old coon if
he does look and act simple.-ltIiaca

Chas. White, young man old enough
to know bett CT has been forging his
fathers name to notes and having the
same discounted 10y innocent parties.
One for $1,000 was discounted at Iurck
Il Co.'S bank not long ago and when the
forgery was discovered the father swOre
Vengeance upon his erring son and urged
the bankers to put him through for
it," The son was captured and brought
before Justice YeringtOn Monday
morning, but the fathers wrath had
cooled enough to make him hesitate
about eliminating the enterprsing
youth and the case had TO be dropped
for lack of evidence sufficient TO convict.
The senior White will pay the note, and
So costs. 1t has since been learned
that Chas. has been playing the same
game at Salt River, only getting the
sum larger this time-about $40. There
is no telling how the old gentleman will
treat the second offense, but it would
seem as though he would see the wis
dom of putting an end to this kind of
business even though it be his son who
is the transgressor.
Gov. Luce shows by his veto Of the
bill for the publication of the proceed
'ings of boards of supervisors that he is
narrow minded and ignorant. If he
had a mind capable of grasping a broad
idea he would know that every dollar
expended in publishing the proceed
ings of officers is well invested. He
probably thought 10y his veto to make
few supplemented and opinionated
country supervisors think he is trying
to economic. lnasmuch rs that bill
the first one he has yetoed-was passed
at the request of the Michigan Press
Association. representing six hundred
ed by joint committee it was unani-
mously approved by a gathering of over
twenty leading publishers, it is doubt
full if the Governors cheap bid for pop
ularity will help him. The Governor
seems to have spite against the print
ers but he may see the day when he
will want their support more than ne
did last fall. The worst thing about
the veto is its foolishness. " hat the
people want and what the papers want
is that all public servants shall be oblg-
ed to let the people know what they
are doing. The bill ought to go over
the veto by unanimous vote.
